Explain with reason if there can be an acceleration in the motion of a body when the velocity of a body is zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, This happens when the body changes its direction of motion under acceleration. For example in S.H.M, when the body is in the position of maximum displacement, it's velocity is zero but it's acceleration is maximum.
